I have 1.6fsi with 18 replica wheels.The other you can see it on video.Nice to meet you.

Welcome to the club. You english is just fine, just enjoy your Eos and keep dropping by for the best in Eos information.

Lovely ABT conversion but is it not a bit over the top when you only have the 1.6fsi engine?
Must admit it looks great though and I'm envious.

the sound quality on the video i doubt does justice to your sound system, cool!


cheers

I think that is quite a strange comment, why does the size of your engine dictate what you can or can't do to your car
Is this Eos snobbery ?

 

[GOgg]

Why strange, 4 exhausts to make it look like a high performance super car but its all show and no go. It just seems strange to me. Surely the engine should be upgraded first, then the brakes then a body kit. Its just my opinion but perhaps I'm too old now to appreciate such expense for no real increase in performance. A car for me is to get me from a-b (and with a little excitement on the way) not just to look at (though that is a bonus).

That is the way us old men see it but I have to say as a youngster I dressed up my 848 cc Mini with all sorts of go-faster bits to make it look like a Mini Cooper S, and very proud if it I was too, even if it had zero performance! The ABT bits do look very good.

 

[FrEos]

Agreed. I tarted up my first car, a 42hp (!) 1978 Polo, when I was a student, but I don't think I would be tempted now I'm old, especially with a car as svelte-looking as the Eos.

Maclin: Where did you buy your ABT kit and how much was it (if you don't mind me asking). Looks great BTW... I really like the front end

I thought that's because it's a diesel but apparently you only get visible tips on the 2.0 T-FSi!

Can't see mine either! lol don't think they can actually miss off an exhaust though, the fumes must go somewhere...??! lol think it's just designed that way

They are there all right, just hidden. It was a fashion in the '90s when BMWs, Mercs etc decided that hiding the exhausts might make people believe they weren't producing any pollution!

It's a bit passe now and surprised that VW do it. Personally I like lots of big shiny exhausts sticking out the back!

 

[Stephb]

I wanted a big shiny exhaust too gutted!

Well just got back from vw had a dent in my passenger door got that removed but they checked round the rest of snobbers found 1 more dent which i didnt know about.

and 2 chips that i knew about already

Im fuming now because i know where the dent has come from and when i see the person who's done it they will know about it!
